' This invention relates torwaterproof containers and more particularly to a novel and improved receptacleecapable of being lat.- tached toa bathingvbclt for instance and def signedv to retain cigarettes and matches as wellva's other smallV articles free of moisture'.r

One of the objects of our invention is tov provide a waterproof container preferably of metal and having a removable receptacle and wit-h a separate coverA or closure at the opposite end, `the interior being lined preferably lwith rubber to *prevent the 'penetration' of moisture to the article being carried. To enable others vskilled the artv to more fully'Y comprehend the underlying lfeaf tures of our invention, `reference isV had to the accompanying drawing whereinV y Fig. l is a-perspective view, partly broken away showing our invention when connected' to a batliingkbelt. y Y
